Together we can strengthen our public sector

You know the challenges our state faces and the solutions that will work

You need time and resources to deliver the services Tasmanians need.

Your skills should be recognised and invested in.

It’s good have security or if you need any advice about anything industrial.Cameron

Who can join?

The CPSU represents workers across all Tasmanian public sector Agencies, in many government business enterprises and at the University of Tasmania. There are a number of occupational groups the CPSU does not cover as they are already represented by an occupation specific union such as Police Officers.

If you have any doubt about whether you are eligible to join the CPSU, contact our office on 6234 1708 or cpsu@tas.cpsu.com.au and if we can’t offer you membership we will refer you to a union that can.

Not eligible to join?

Then become a CPSU Supporter! Like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and Instagram. Share our posts and spread the many ways the Tasmanian public sector strengthens communities.

What does it cost?

All CPSU activities are fully funded by member subscriptions. Our subscription rates are set by Council annually and generally adjusted in line with the salary outcomes achieved for Members.

Subscription rates are reduced for part-time and trainee members. Our current rates are below.

Member testimonials

Being a union member is a bit like having insurance for your job. It’s like health insurance - you take it out just in case. It’s always good to have that support network to fall back on and know that the people involved with the union will go into bat for you – they won’t hold back they’ll do everything they possibly can for you. That’s why I joined the union in the first place. Being tax deductible and all the Member benefits – it was a no brainer for me.Tom

I believe in the power of collaboration.
The CPSU works with the State Government to negotiate the best possible pay and conditions for its Members.
It’s been proven that workplaces with strong unions pay higher wages, are safer and provide greater opportunities for training and career progression.
The CPSU services also include advice, protection, and support at work –should you ever need it.Denny

"I joined the CPSU because without unions we would not enjoy the benefits we now have such as superannuation, good pay, good work and leave conditions and the list goes on."David
